All of our partners listed below have many years practical experience in the development and distribution of textile printing machines and their applications.

Werner Tschudi,

Owner of the Company Tschudi Technology, is a pioneer in the technical development of digital printing machines for digital printing.

He introduced the first machine before 1999 at the ITMA in Paris.

His many years of experience in digital textile design and, particularly, in the development of the first large scale computer-to-screen (CTS) stencil engraving machines, both rotary and flat,

in the JetScreen system of Luescher were the key to developing together with the company Ichinose

in Japan during 1998 producing the world's first inkjetprinter called Imageproofer, with 12 colours.

His excellent technical understating, the colour management system and the close partnership with Mutoh Belgium were further milestones.

The first well developed heat setting unit Quickfix was produced by Werner Tschudi for direct printing materials, shown in Munich at ITMA 2007.

Hans Luescher

Former owner of the company Luescher AG has gained more than 25 years experience in building of mechanical and digital step and repeat /engraving systems including computer-to-screen

machines and was the first manufacturer worldwide to offer large size CTS machines for use in the production areas of screen and textile companies.

Likewise, in 1995, Hans Luescher produced and sold the first textile software for engraving and colour printing, called ImageBox with plugins for Photoshop.

Hans Luescher is a well known professional in the international textile and screen printing trade and, of course, within the entire printing market worldwide. Since he left Luescher he has
founded several new companies in the digital world.

introduction of electronic production processes and scanner technology. During the long time with Crosfield in England, he gained extensive knowledge and experience in international sales

globally the then totally unknown digital photograph filmless CTS

(Computer-to-screen) technology in graphic, industrial and textile screen printing. This enabled him to be very
